Last week, we went and picked up a couple of poinsettias we had purchased for a fundraiser. The nursery was a sea of red, pink, and white. It reminded me of San Diego when it was not uncommon to see wild poinsettias growing in people's yard. I love the splash of color they provide.

I love the type of houseplants they sell at this time of year - Christmas Cactus and Poinsettias. I have a few Christmas Cactus -6. Well, maybe i have more than a few. I was really introduced to them by the Giant Man Child's Nanna. She grew them out on her porch and they were huge.

I have some that bloom at Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter. This is a plant that my cats don't seem to bother, too. Poinsettias, I believe are poisonous to children and animals. These are pretty forgiving as houseplants go, too.
